The Protein Research Group (www.protein.sdu.dk) at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Southern Denmark invites applications for a position as postdoctoral research fellow within the field of bioinformatics and computational proteomics to be filled by 1 January, 2011 or soon thereafter.

The applicant will be working on the project entitled The Dynamic Proteome: Elucidation of post-translational regulatory events by multiplexed mass spectrometry experiments. The work will encompass the organization and computational/statistical analysis of large-scale datasets obtained by mass spectrometry analysis of complex protein samples, including nuclear preparations and other subcellular compartments. Implicit in the project is the use and the development of new computational and statistical tools and the maintenance of a database server.

Applicants must be able to demonstrate a good knowledge of mathematical concepts in computational and statistical approaches to analyze biological data. Knowledge of and experience in R, C++, Java, MySQL and perl will be an advantage. The applicant should demonstrate experience in analyzing large-scale proteomics or genomics datasets.

The position is for a duration of 2½ years.

The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology offers a strong, international and competitive research environment within the fields of molecular genetics and cell biology, protein chemistry and mass spectrometry, molecular microbiology and biophysics.

The successful applicant will be employed in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations).

The application must include the following:

• A curriculum vitae including information on previous employment and teaching experience.• A full list of publications stating the scientific publication on which the applicant wishes to rely.• A list of all enclosures

To qualify you must have passed a PhD or equivalent. Applications will be assessed by an expert assessor/committee. Applicants will be informed of their assessment by the university.

The University encourages all interested persons to apply, regardless of age, gender, religious affiliation, or ethnic background.
